The Supernatural season 5 finale is almost here and all of the pieces are in place for the final showdown in the Apocalypse. Dean has all four Horsemen rings and is ready to trap Lucifer back in his cage while Sam has a plan of his own: saying "Yes" to Lucifer and sacrificing himself.

Not all titles featured on BuddyTV are available through Amazon Prime.

Supernatural has a history of tragic endings. In season 1, Sam, Dean
and John were in a car accident. In season 2, Sam died and Dean sold
his soul to bring him back. In season 3, Dean went to Hell. And in
season 4, Lucifer rose. Will season 5 continue the trend of a very dark
ending, or will Supernatural finally end on a positive note?

In season 3, Dean was doomed to Hell, and despite trying everything to
avoid the inevitable, the season ended exactly as promised. Season 5
could do the same thing, only this time it's Sam who goes to Hell by
following through on his plan and sacrificing himself to trap Lucifer.

Someone Else Dies to Trap Lucifer

Sam may be Lucifer's true vessel, but as Michael illustrated by taking
on the forms of John and now Adam, there are alternatives. Maybe
someone else will be able to take in Lucifer and make the sacrifice for
Sam. The official episode synopsis promises a major death, and since
Supernatural was already renewed for a sixth season, the most likely
candidates to sacrifice themselves to stop Lucifer are Bobby and
Castiel.

Happily Ever After

After five seasons of bad news, Supernatural could use a happy ending.
Maybe Sam and Dean find a way to trap Lucifer without being injured, and
Bobby and Castiel are safe because God shows up as the ultimate dues ex
machine to fix everything at the last minute. But let's be honest,
this probably won't happen.

The Thelma and Louise Ending

Imagine this scenario: Sam says "Yes" to Lucifer and stands at the edge
of the trap. Rather than losing his brother, Dean decides to pull a
Thelma and Louise by jumping into the pit with his brother, leaving both
of them stuck. I'm not sure what season 6 would look like, but maybe
the first few episodes could take place in a nightmarish Hellscape of
the cage as Sam and Dean try to find a way out.

So which ending do you see happening? Personally, I kind of like the
idea of Sam and Dean jumping off the cliff together. Eric Kripke always
had a five-year plan, so maybe he wanted to end Supernatural with the
brothers sacrificing themselves side-by-side. Season 6 would be someone
else's problem.
